CBT practices have helped me more that the mystical spirituality of AA, yet I do attend AA open meetings for the fellowship. But that's just me. CBT helped me to eliminate the cravings so I haven't used medications that help in that aspect.

You may want to check out the links below as they are CBT or related recovery tools.
SOS Recovery and LifeRing Recovery
SMART Tools and SMART Articles
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Addiction Recovery Tools from cbtrecovery.com
DBT Life Skills For Emotional Health Great tools for maintaining sobriety as well. (from dbtselfhelp.com/index.html)
Rational Recovery: The New Cure for Substance Addiction. By Jack Trimpey. (Google book preview including the Addiction Voice Recognition Technique or the AVRT)
The important thing to remember is that you can recover by putting together a variety recovery practices. There is no one single recovery modality that is for everyone. I know, I had to learn this the hard way.

You can do this thing!
